momofkhm Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Good morning ladies! I got on my bike and rode for an hour today, including stop lights and such. I felt good when I was done, but tired. I need to figure out if my seat slips or if my knees are just tired by the end of the ride, though.

DB in NJ Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Good job getting it done! I have Day 2 of P.T. this afternoon. I did my p.t. exercises twice yesterday; the first time was fine, but the one exercise the second time around -- WOWSA!! boy that hurt. I'm dreading the "massage" today. Apparently, there are two different types of massage they do; one feels wonderful! The other....not so much. It hurts. Ah well. After today I'll only have 4 more visits even though I do the exercises twice a day every day (two sets each time of 4 exercises each). The muscle is feeling better already :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to be rid of this pain, but I really don't want to go through more pain. However, a massage does sound good.... I hope you recover quickly and can get back to the road.

Beth in SW WA Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 OK, I'll play... I ran 4 miles on the elliptical. Incline 14, resistance 7-9 (depending on the song). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yea to all who've pumped iron and gotten their heart rate up. I'm laid low with a nasty cold. Stayed in bed all day yesterday and today feel much better. Tomorrow I should be human again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista in LA Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I don't think I heard how your test went. :toetap05: so.... Hmm, which test? I was on prescription anti-inflamatory for the sciatica thing along with doing some hamstring stretches and crunches that my friend the ot/runner recommended. I found some relief initially, but it hasn't improved any since then. I posted the other day that my dr recommended I stop running until getting the pain under control with some pt and then start running again under the pt's guideance. While doing routine blood tests, we found my cholesterol was down 30 pts affter 3 months of running! And she also discovered that I am iron deficiency anemic. I'm hoping that explains why the running seemed soooo hard at times. I am now taking lots of iron and the difference in my fatigue and brain fog is incredible. I'm looking for some good cardio exercise that won't irritate my sciatica issue until I can get back to running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenn&charles Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi - thought I'd jump in here, hopefully I can find the exercise threads each day....because I NEED them! I'll post what I did last night, since I'm on a wacky schedule and do my exercising really late: 61 minutes pedaling (stationary under the desk pedal thing) with the resistance turned up 100%.

Krista in LA Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Didn't you take off running one day recently due to a TKD test? Brown or black belt? Oh, that test. You can see my mind is on blood tests right now. :rolleyes: My kids and I tested for our 3rd chevron on our 1st degree black belts and it went splendidly. Since I started running this summer, my tkd has much improved. I wasn't huffing and puffing half way through our form. The instructor actually told me I did better than my kids this time! This was the last chevron on our 1st degree, our next test is 2nd degree recommended. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
